Introduction

Welcome to the David and Lorraine Cheng Library

This guide should serve as a starting point for your research needs for your Introduction to Research course. Use the tabs at the top of the guide to locate different types of resources. If you have any questions, please be sure to contact me!

ChengFind

ChengFindprovides a great starting point for research. There's one search box that searches our library catalog for books, e-books, videos and music; but also our databases for journal article content. Our digital archives (WPUNJ campus newspapers, course catalogs, yearbooks, and history) are also included in the search.

You'll find a number of facets, or limiters, along the left side of your results list. Use these to refine your search to the type of material you seek (book, articles, etc.) and also limit to a date range, library location, or other filters.

We will shortly be providing more tutorials and guides to using the new ChengFind. If you have questions, please contact us at 973-720-2116, via email at refdesk@wpunj.edu, or via chat at the Library home page.

Fetch It!

We are happy to retrieve material from our collection and hold it for you at Lending Services. From the Library webpage, click My Account and log in using your 855- number and last name.

Once logged in, search the online catalog for your material. If it is eligible for us to fetch, you'll see the "Fetch this for me!" link:

You will get an email notifying you that the material is ready for pick-up. We will hold items for three days after notifying you, then we return them to the shelf. Please call 973.720.3180 to check on the status of your hold or to ask a question.
